Replication on the Web (Access 2002)

I want to store a master database as a backend on a web site that does not support ASP. The site supports PHP. Access replica front ends will be on several individual PCs with web-only connections to the master. I have written many access databases using VBA. I have not used replication but do not think that part will be difficult for me. I do not know how to link to the master database if it is on the web.
Can anyone refer me to documentation on how to do this, please?
